While herding sheep, Auntie pulled a boxwood from the woods, invented her own planting method, and now she's full of confidence: 480 yuan for one pot, and she didn't sell.
Auntie is very fond of potted plants, whether flowers and grasses or tree stumps. In her own small courtyard there are dozens of flower pots of all sizes, with all kinds of tree stumps. This comes from her own hardworking hobby. Every time she goes into the mountains, when she comes across flowers, grasses or tree stumps she likes, she always spares no effort to bring some back to enrich her little garden.
Just like this: the little-leaf boxwood seedlings Auntie pulled from the woods two years ago, through her own original potting method, have now made her full of confidence. Someone took a fancy to her boxwood potted plants and offered 480 yuan for one pot, and she didn't sell. Indeed, this innovative method of hers is still a bit novel. Today, I even imitated her method and planted several pots, and the results were really good. So today I'll introduce Auntie's method of turning waste into treasure to everyone, so we can share it together.
It turns out that on her way home from herding sheep, Auntie passed a car repair shop and shamelessly asked the repairman for a few worn-out tires. The repairman let her take several without a word, because environmental protection is strictly enforced and burning them is not allowed, so they could only be piled up in a corner, and it was a good thing if someone wanted them. Next, Auntie cut and trimmed the car tires she had gotten.
Right after that, on the bottom of the trimmed tire flower pot, she laid a layer of wire mesh, and on top of the wire mesh she placed smashed medium-grained red bricks and smashed clay tile fragments. Then she mixed the collected mountain soil evenly with medium sand to plant the boxwood seedlings, planting the boxwood seedlings she had pulled from the woods into the tire flower pot, placing it in a shady environment for a period of care, and after the boxwood seedlings regained their vitality, moving them to a sunny place.
The advantage of using tires as flower pots is that the pots are tough, and also very cheap and economical. The pot is fairly wide, making it easy to water and fertilize. Nowadays, the boxwood bonsai Auntie cares for in tires has grown a style of its own. A passing friend who likes boxwood took a fancy to it and offered 480 yuan for one pot, and she still didn't sell it. Truly full of confidence.
